Re: [pypy-dev] Question on installing pypy and the source code

I've had really good luck installing pypy and development environments with pyenv. It includes recipes for installing pretty much any version of Python you might need. -Mark
Hi Developers ..
I have been looking at trying to install the pypy interpreter from source code as suggested from the: http://pypy.org website for the very first time. We don't have any previous version of the pypy interpreter installed on our systems at Cisco ..
I ran into a bit of an issue in trying to follow the instructions. As was suggested I tried to use the "building from Source" code instructions as I wanted to build it from scratch as we have a somewhat unique environment, so it is usually better to try and build the tools from the source code ..
All the build instructions seem to assume that you have a previous version of pypy already installed, in my case, I don't have a previous version of pypy already installed and am trying to create the first one.. :( ..
I there a set of instructions for very first time builders ??
Thanks for any help that you can offer ..
Cheers

Assuming you are following "Building from Source": http://pypy.org/download.html#building-from-source - The link in §2, "install dependencies" says: It is, of course, possible to translate with a CPython 2.6 or later [...] - §4 says: works also with 'python' instead of 'pypy' IMO this is clear enough, but maybe you found another place where pypy cannot be replaced by python? -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc
